Hello all!
I’ve used the program Landmark to collect data on 3D models. I’ve then exported the dataset in dta. format. When I had imported the file in MorphoJ in NTSYS, I got this error message: “Invalid number format in the file”. The reports then read “Problems with reading the file. BjFi-17_7A11-S61_man. Errors occurred in the reading process. The new dataset could not be created.
At first, I thought that a bug occurred on one on my individual during the data collection, so I recollected the landmarks for this one. Unfortunately, when I tried to import the new file, I got the same error message but with another individual.
This is the first time I get this problem. I did my error testing with some of the individuals in my entire dataset (161 individuals) without problems.
Thank you for your help!
Hello Marie-Ève,
The "Invalid number format in the file" error message in MorphoJ usually occurs when the program encounters an unexpected or improperly formatted value in the input file. To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:
If you continue to face difficulties, consider reaching out to the MorphoJ user community or the software developers for further assistance. They may be able to provide more specific guidance based on your dataset and the software version you're using. Good luck!
Alessandro Rizzo I've imported each individual separately in MorphoJ so I was able to spot that two of them had typing issues that had slipped under my radar. Extra spaces in the name of the file caused the error message. I was able to correct it and poursue with my analysis. Thanks so much for the advice!
